The news came as a bombshell on Sunday evening. While the Brazilian only played a few minutes against Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, and he hadn't even stepped on the pitch in the round of 16 against Juventus, the press in his country announced that PSG is among the clubs interested in signing him . The reigning European champion, like Arsenal and Manchester City, is said to have contacted the entourage of the player, whose contract in Madrid expires in 2028, a few days before the semi-final between the two clubs.
A clash at the top in which the main player concerned is unlikely to participate. It must be said that he is close to being considered an outcast in Madrid. With Xabi Alonso playing with two strikers, it's difficult to find a place for him in the starting eleven. The new Madrid coach has reportedly already given the green light for the number 11 to leave. Furthermore, some of the Santos-trained player's behavior has irked the management recently, even though he didn't necessarily perform very well last season. The door is wide open, and the Real Madrid management will consider any proposal that is made.
Real Madrid lowers its price
And how much should PSG and other interested clubs pay to land Rodrygo ? According to Mundo Deportivo , an offer of €80 million should satisfy Florentino Pérez and his men. An amount that is not necessarily excessive given the player's record, who has had some notable appearances in the Champions League, among others. Especially since just a few weeks ago, the Spanish press was talking about a price set at over €100 million. Real Madrid is therefore already lowering its demands in this matter.
Still, given the attacking arsenal already present at Paris Saint-Germain, a profile like Rodrygo does not necessarily seem, on paper, to be a priority. The efforts of the club from the French capital seem rather focused on defense at the moment, with Ilya Zabarnyi as a priority as revealed by us . To be continued, since the Brazilian press seems sure of itself.
